William Ruckelshaus was a loyal servant of Richard Nixon, who stuck to his guns & resigned rather than carry out a presidential order he saw as improper. Neither his ties to Nixon nor his stand on conscience against him prevented Ronald Reagan from hiring Ruckelshaus again.

Reagan followed the footsteps of Lincoln, whose VPs, Cabinet & team included former Whigs, Democrats, Know-Nothings, anti-Masons, rivals of Lincoln for the nomination, abolitionists & slaveowners, backers of the Mexican War & Fugitive Slave Law. Lincoln took the allies he could.

The next Republican administration absolutely should NOT include people who "stood by Trump." Such people stood by and did nothing in the face of rapacious illegality all around them.

Did Reagan hire anyone who stood by Nixon or went to jail for Nixon?

More proof that being a Never Trump Republican is next to meaningless. Dan doesn’t have a problem with Trump’s horrible policies or beliefs, he has a problem with the image of Trump.

I disagree. Outspoken MAGAs should be toxic.

The next Republican administration should be so far in the future that anyone who worked in the Trump administration is dead.
